Pay Transparency
An increasing number of states, regulators, and courts have recently taken steps to impact the way you can – and should – communicate with your employees about pay. In general, these new laws require employers to make pay range information available to internal and external candidates when advertising open positions, or at some point during the hiring process.
California, Colorado, Connecticut, Maryland, Nevada, New York, Rhode Island, and Washington have all enacted pay transparency measures of one type or another. In addition, numerous other states are proposing similar legislation.
